Auto augmentation mastopexy, or auto breast augmentation and lift, is simply a process that uses your own tissues to lift your breasts and increase volume. There are no implants required.
As you age, your breasts can begin to sag and deflate (this deflation is known by the medical term, ptosis). Ptosis is entirely natural, and the primary benefit of auto augmentation mastopexy is the ability to resolve ptosis to rejuvenate the breasts.
Our patients often rave to us about an increase in confidence and self-esteem after undergoing auto augmentation mastopexy. They love the fact that they can have perkier, larger breasts without having to deal with implants!
At a glance, the benefits of auto augmentation mastopexy include:
A natural-looking transformation of the breast tissue. Your profile will look significantly more youthful, and your breasts will present much more volume.
Many patients who undergo an auto augmentation mastopexy have recently gone through a massive weight loss. This procedure allows them to effectively complete that weight loss journey and appreciate their improved look.
Your breasts will look more youthful and lively. Once the procedure is complete, the breasts will not sag or look deflated for a long time.
Auto augmentation mastopexy (or an auto augmentation breast lift) is most commonly used for patients who are experiencing significant ptosis or deflation of the breasts and have excess tissue elsewhere on their bodies.
Ptosis can occur for a wide variety of reasons, including aging. By correcting ptosis, auto augmentation mastopexy can help patients feel like they’re turning back the clock on their bodies.
In general, good candidates for auto augmentation mastopexy may:
Auto augmentation can be used to increase the size of the breasts if the patient does not want an artificial implant. Usually, auto augmentation mastopexy is a good fit for patients who have experienced massive weight loss and have a significant amount of ptosis.
During your consultation with Dr. Endara or Dr. Fulks, you’ll discuss which breast enhancement approach will be the best avenue to deliver your desired results.
Auto augmentation breast lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. This surgery usually takes about 2 to 4 hours to perform. Once the procedure is over, and you’ve been given a chance to recover from the immediate effects of the anesthetic, you’ll be allowed to return home for the duration of your recovery.
In many ways, the incisions for an auto augmentation breast lift are very similar to those used in other mastopexy procedures.
Repositioning Breast TissuesOnce the incision is made, your surgeon will begin repositioning the fat deposits and glands from the lower breast, rotating them into a higher position. Fat grafting may also be used to add extra contouring where necessary. The reconstructed breast tissue is sutured to the fascia of the second rib, ensuring that it stays in its more youthful position. Any unwanted excess skin and tissue is removed, and the nipple is then repositioned. The incisions are then closed.
An auto augmentation breast lift is a plastic surgical procedure that increases the size of the breasts and makes them perkier using the patient's own tissues.
Breast augmentation doesn't always require breast implants. An alternative to prosthetic implants is your own tissue!
If you have an excess amount of skin and fat, it can be used to add volume to your breasts. This is known as auto breast augmentation. When the breasts are reshaped to make them perkier at the same time, the procedure is known as auto augmentation lift.
The cost depends on how much correction is performed. Expect to pay in the thousands of dollars.
The procedure typically takes a couple of hours, as it can be more extensive than a straightforward breast lift or breast augmentation. Your surgeon will let you know how long your surgery will take during your consultation.
Absolutely. Fat transfer to your breasts is a common way to enhance breast shape and size.
